Karachista: Pakistan Fashion Council responds to his critics

  Pakistan Fashion Council under fire recently with the former CEO Amir Adnan you come to PFDC and unfavorable comparisons between Pakistan Fashion Week (DFP) and PFDC Sunsilk Fashion Week (PSFW). Thus, designers of FPC disappointed and the board is a spent force? Nothing could be further from the truth.

The self-same designers from Karachi helped confirm such a success this year, show that they have a very positive experience DFP PSFW. Shamaeel Ansari says it's ridiculous that people talk about the disappearance of the board. "You look over the years, all of our events," Ansari said. "In April last year, our fashion week was by far the strongest of the season., It is business logic for our members who have already shown, to go [Karachi], Lahore at this time and we have to be promoted." Designer Nida Azwer and Shehla Chatoor confirmed that they FPW shown if it was not so close to PSFW.

"From an economic perspective, it is very important to show in Lahore and Karachi," says Umair Tabani Sania Maskatiya. "They're both huge target markets."

With Karachi as a separate division FPC is the natural choice for the shows in Karachi. Expect things to different fashion weeks in Lahore and Karachi, because they always reflect the ethos of the city. After all, New York Fashion Week is very different from the London Fashion Week.

This time FPC suffered because of the unstable security situation in Karachi. Despite this connection FPC established a very worthy event, which was covered by the Wall Street Journal and Vogue India. The partnership with the TV humming provides excellent coverage for designers in Pakistan. In addition, FPC connection with the Model 360 Tags e-shop open international markets for designers who showed up for DFP.

Nevertheless, the fact remains that the line-up this time FPW was not as good as it should have been. Designer Maheen Khan admits that editing the content was close DFP and maybe some were not ready for the ramp from which selected. But how Ansari said there is a learning curve for new designers and even good designers curve sometimes fall flat on their faces in the fashion weeks. It is necessary to talented new designers the opportunity platforms upscale and grown some not necessarily the situation. However, you will learn the process and come back stronger when they are really talented. There is some truth in this observation of Ansari, but the FPC has a better balance between new talent and established designers.

Both Khan Ansari and insist they have very cordial relations with Sehyr Saigol and we look forward to working with PFDC any time. They encourage their members to be members PFDC PFDC and welcome to show their events. They even suggested that the two boards work together to fashion weeks, one in Karachi and Lahore to promote - each other's logistical and other support.

"It's time to stop this little comparison Lahore-Karachi," says Maheen Khan. "We need to think nationally as an industry we are a nation, and I feel the division ratios are detrimental to the industry as a whole.." She also said: "FPC has always primarily concerned the fashion industry."

FPC probably work hard for its members in this regard. Twice a year, it takes quotas designers for a show at Club Panglian in Singapore, which helped many of its members, has to develop a client base in Singapore. He worked with the Trade Development Authority of Pakistan send the members in Pakistan Expo in New Delhi. Likewise, the Council has also worked with the Pakistan Fashion Week in London, receive preferential rates for the designers to participate.

In recent years, Ansari reorganized and properly structured business and legal side of the Council. Up to a stellar generation of designers is mature. Designers like Nida Azwer and Sania Maskatiya have immense affection and commitment to CPD.

"I had a lot of support from the Board and we learned a lot from them," says designer Maheen Karim. Ansari she reveals confirmations Tabani Chatoor Karim and they are extended members of the Board of Directors for the next event. This new generation has the potential to add new capabilities that complement those of the original team. The future looks very promising for FPC.
